HubSpot
has a great checklist to keep in mind. Make sure you follow their
important steps to get the most out of your research:
1) Start with making a list of important and relevant topics that pertain to your business.
2) Come up with keywords that people might search for to find those topics.
3) Now, research the related search terms (shown in the footer of Google’s results).
4) Check for a mix of head terms and long-tail keywords in each topic.
5) Check out how your competitors are ranking for those keywords.
6) Use Google Adwords to your advantage to cut down your keyword list.
Google’s best practices
state that you should align your keywords with your business goals.
Choose long-tail keywords to differentiate yourself from competitors. Most importantly, don’t try
to trick the bots. You won’t win. Google can red flag your pages which can severely impact your
lead generation efforts. Don’t focus on stuffing keywords into your pages. Provide relevant,
useful content that is geared toward helping your visitors. As bots get smarter, so should your
SEO efforts.
Use Content to Increase SEO Ranking
When you publish relevant content for your audience, search engines notice. The longer people
stay on your website resonates with how well you rank. If you are keyword stuffing to get more
traffic, it will soon be apparent in the amount of time visitors stay on your page.
Make sure that your content is updated regularly. The more relevant content you post, the more
traffic you’re going to get. Regular updates are encouraged. Also, make sure to create relevant
links within the text. Relate your hyperlinked text to the destination of the link. This will improve
your ranking of the page you’re linking to. Remember, you’ll need to create alt tags for pictures
and videos to make sure that search engines understand what’s on the page even if the image
or video doesn’t display properly.
